Style...
It must stand tall!
The entire golden palace's dome above appeared in layers of golden patterns!
These patterns slowly gathered and combined to form the image of a woman with long hair; this woman made of patterns gazed down upon everything happening inside the palace, as if she were a deity.
However...
Something was missing from the woman floating on the ceiling.
Akihara Kagura thought for a while and sighed lightly: "It's a pity we don't have an eternal log pose to Mary Geoise and Laugh Tale..."
If there were two eternal log poses in the eyes of the relief woman on the dome inside the golden palace, the effect might be even more stunning...
Right now...
Just a little flaw remains.
Akihara Kagura extended his palm, and two white jade beads were instantly created with Yin-Yang Release Creation from his hand, floating slowly upwards from his palm.
These two white jade beads settled into the eye sockets of the divine-like relief woman on the dome, making her image instantly come to life.
These two white jade beads, like illuminating lamps, pointed one towards the entrance and the other towards the deepest part of the palace.
Akihara Kagura walked step by step into the palace.
Inside the palace, a towering golden stele slowly emerged.
Akihara Kagura reached out and took a stack of papers from Karin, following the writing on the paper, manipulating the golden stele and gradually crafting it into a historical sculpture.
"Let me think about what else is missing..."
Akihara Kagura slapped the ground, creating a woman-shaped sculpture made of yellow sand kneeling before the golden historical stele, as if confessing to history.
The woman's body slowly became covered with a layer of sand gold, turning into a golden statue, and anyone who saw this woman's image would find that the contours of the sculpture closely resembled Princess Vivi of Alabasta.
At the very least...
This palace is already quite useful.
However...
It's not enough yet.
Akihara Kagura manipulated the appearance of floating white clouds above the palace, these sculptures floating in mid-air under magnetic forces.
Sky People with wings appeared on the cloud sculptures, all raising their hands skyward, as if submitting to the woman relief on the dome above the palace...
In the air inside the palace appeared sculptures of giants, Longarm Tribe, Three-Eyed Tribe, and ordinary humans, all paying homage to the woman in the dome...
Besides...
The other side was filled with blue seawater.
Half the bodies of the mermaids and Fishmen's reliefs were buried in the seawater, their upper bodies stretching their arms skyward, as if worshipping the woman relief in the dome.
Finally...
In the corners of the entire palace appeared sculptures wearing cloaks, all with a clear "D" letter drawn on their backs.
The golden palace was completely completed at this moment.
If anyone steps into this golden palace, they would undoubtedly be awestruck by its decor, as if everything was made entirely of gold!
Moreover...
Every sculpture here carries its own symbolic meaning!
The woman relief on the dome symbolizes the Goddess of Rabbit, with the sky, sea, and land all submitting to this goddess, receiving divine protection.
In the corners around the palace are the D Clan, symbolizing the Divine Servants.
By reading the golden stele deep within the palace, one would understand what everything in this palace signifies, including why a golden woman sculpture is kneeling in confession before the stele.
"This should be enough..."
Akihara Kagura's fingers lightly tapped his arm, appearing to contemplate something: "Considering Crocodile's level of knowledge and imagination, he might only be able to forge something like this, perhaps this is already beyond his capabilities..."
"..."
Karin slowly nodded.
Akihara Kagura didn't stay any longer, he exited the golden palace with Karin, manipulating a gale and yellow sand constantly assailing the outside of the golden palace, giving it an antiqued feel of history on the outside.
Once everything was complete, the golden palace slowly sank down and was completely submerged in this vast sea of sand, leaving only the tip of the pyramid exposed.
If someone comes to the center of this desert, in the sunlight, they would discover the shimmering golden point, and the golden palace sunk into the sand.
However...
Excavating it won't be easy.
The only person in all of Alabasta capable of doing it might be Crocodile, who can control the sand, which is the backdoor Akihara Kagura meticulously prepared for him.
"The remaining task..."
Akihara Kagura took a glance at the exposed pyramid tip, leisurely leaving with Karin from the desert: "is to think of a way to attract everyone here."
In fact...
There is no need for Akihara Kagura to do anything...
Just the terrifying magnetic force manipulating the sand gold has already drawn the attention of many in Alabasta to this desert.
Although that terrifying magnetic force quickly dissipated, many could sense that something unusual must be happening at the desert's center.
However...
People at the center of the desert were also watching the port's changes.
"It seems like there's been a battle over at the port."
Karin's gaze fell towards the coastal direction, her Kagura Heart Eye enhanced by Observation Haki allowing her a greater view: "A battle between two Natural Type users, one should be Colonel Smoker, the other is using flame abilities..."
"Kids always like to play house..."
Akihara Kagura didn't think much of it, merely shook his head, placing a hand on Karin's shoulder: "Let's first go meet our Admiral, it's more fun than their battle..."
After speaking.
Akihara Kagura and Karin's figures disappeared simultaneously.
In Alabasta's canal.
A nine-headed wooden dragon was towing a massive seaship still lurking here.
Kizaru sat on the deck, his wounds still bleeding, feeling a bit under the weather, he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, do you really not have a doctor on board who can help treat wounds?"
"It's a pity Little Tsuna isn't here..."
Senju Hashirama shook his head somewhat sorrowfully, even shamelessly praising: "Little Tsuna is the best medical ninja in the village..."
"Hmph..."
Uchiha Madara chuckled lightly, not quite agreeing with Senju Hashirama's praise: "You can heal automatically without hand seals, her medical ninjutsu is still far behind!"
"Pardon, may I ask, who is Little Tsuna..."
Kizaru curiously inquired.
"She is my granddaughter."
Senju Hashirama proudly said, ready to introduce his fifty-year-old granddaughter: "Right now, she is the Hokage of the village..."
"!!!"
Kizaru and Aokiji's eyes showed a trace of surprise.
For the Senju Hashirama before them didn't seem elderly, yet he's already a grandfather?
Moreover...
What position is Hokage, similar to a hospital director?
"What role does a Hokage play?"
Kizaru pursed his lips, leisurely wanting to inquire further.
"Hokage is the leader of a small village..."
An unfamiliar voice appeared in everyone's ears, directly answering Kizaru: "If the Admiral wants to inquire about information, just ask me, as I was once the assistant to that village's leader, doing dirty work like that..."
"Our doctor has arrived."
Uchiha Madara's lips immediately curved into a smile, speaking lightly of their doctor: "Admiral, now you don't have to worry about being critically injured and dying here; even if you die, you can be pulled back from the Netherworld..."
"Truly terrifying..."
Kizaru nodded, seemingly believing Uchiha Madara's boast.
"However..."
Uchiha Madara said at this point, his eyes flashed with amusement, looking at Kizaru as if he were viewing a novel toy.
"What you need to worry about is another issue..."
"Because... you may experience a miraculous feeling..."
"Feeling like in this trying time of life..."
"Life is worse than death..."
